OM RUPANI & LAURIE HANDLERS

People come to explore both BDSM as well as Tantra with a focus on improving their sex life. Both of these realms most certainly hold an enormous amount of wisdom for both the activation of one’s own sex, and a deeper understanding of human eros — including the darker corners of our Eros.

Beyond this, we have found that the principles of Eros in fact carry over into better relating as well. Turns out the core principles that make Eros thrive better between two people can also inform their relating and connection.

Couples of all genders can benefit from the wisdom in these two realms. Om & Laurie themselves are straight people. They have been in long-term relationships with their partners for years. As such, they have faced their own set of challenges in the man-woman field, as all other couples.

In this short evening class, we will share how the principles of Tantra and BDSM can also inform Man-Woman relationship functionality. We will draw some parallels between Dom-sub dynamics and Man-Woman dynamics. This topic is large. In these two hours, we will share a few central ideas on this theme.

If you like what you find here, you are welcome to come take our week-long retreat, TANTRA meets BDSM.
